Tesla has opened its planned Chattanooga showroom and service center as the electric vehicle maker seeks to put a charge into its business in the tri-state area.
“It’s pretty busy,” said Autumn Barbee, the service adviser at Tesla’s newly built location in the Village at Waterside development near Interstate 75 and Shallowford Road.

Barbee said in an interview the location marked its grand opening earlier this year, though service work started in mid-December at the 26,870-square-foot building.
The showroom is making deliveries of EVs in the area, she said. About two dozen Teslas were lined up on one side of the location Tuesday. Barbee said Tesla was only making sales online, but interested buyers could come in and get more information from an adviser on-site.
